Mercy Volunteer Corps

A program of the Sisters of Mercy, Mercy Volunteer Corps (MVC) invites women and men to service with people who are economically poor or marginalized.
Volunteers commit to compassionate service, simple lifestyle in community and spiritual
growth.

Mercy Volunteers serve within the continental U.S. and Guyana, South America, with
additional international sites possible. National volunteers make a one-year commitment
beginning the first week of August; international volunteers make a two-year commitment.

Campus Ministry is proud to announce that two of our 2012 graduates have applied to
a year of service with Mercy Volunteer Corps and have completed their week of orientation
held in Philadelphia. Patricia Salgado will serve in Savannah, Ga., and Stacy Konow to St. Michael's Mission,
Ariz. We are proud to know that our students are considering a year of service at
Mercy ministries across the country. If you are interested in looking into the possibility
for yourself, just contact Sister Carol Mucha, R.S.M., of MercyCare at mucha@sxu.edu or at 773-298-4232
